Five Nights At Freddy's 2 Poster Unveiled at CCXP MX 2025
Freddy Fazbear and his deadly crew return in the first poster for Five Nights at Freddy's 2, reigniting the horror game adaptation series. The sequel is part of Universal Pictures' upcoming theatrical slate and brings back key cast members alongside new animatronic threats. While plot specifics remain under wraps, the film promises higher stakes and a deeper dive into the haunted legacy of Freddy's.
Blumhouse and Universal Pictures unveiled the first poster for Five Nights at Freddy's 2 during the CCXP event in Mexico on June 1, 2025.
The sequel will be released exclusively in theaters on December 5, 2025, as confirmed by Blumhouse's official post on X (formerly Twitter): 'Please copy. #FNAF2Movie only in theaters December 5.' The event marked Blumhouse's 15th anniversary and included multiple announcements, including a new trailer for The Black Phone sequel and footage from M3GAN 2.0.
Emma Tammi returns to direct Five Nights at Freddy's 2, based on Scott Cawthon's video game franchise. Jason Blum and Cawthon also return as producers. The first film, released in 2023, grossed around $292 million worldwide. It set streaming records on Peacock despite receiving generally negative reviews. The film became the highest-grossing title in Blumhouse history.
Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, and Matthew Lillard reprise their roles from the previous movie. Filmmakers shot the sequel in New Orleans during the 2024–2025 New Year period and expanded the stakes by introducing new characters, including Toy Freddy and Balloon Boy. They have not yet disclosed specific plot details.
The original film followed Mike (Josh Hutcherson) as he took a night security job at the haunted Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, where the spirits of murdered children possessed the animatronic mascots. The sequel continues to explore the horror-driven narrative surrounding the cursed entertainment venue.
Additionally, Blumhouse confirmed that the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise will feature at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights later this year.

‘Wicked: For Good' Trailer Gets a Release Date as New Film Poster Is Unveiled
Good news! Fans are finally getting their first looks at Wicked: For Good, with Universal Pictures announcing the release date of its first trailer while unveiling the film's poster Wednesday (May 14). As revealed first on the official Wicked Instagram account, the sequel's official poster finds leading ladies Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande — who portray Elphaba and Glinda in the live-action musical duology, respectively — looking stoic as they stare each other down while standing on opposing rocky cliffs separated by a deep ravine. At the bottom, the franchise's famous Yellow Brick Road leads the way to the Emerald City, which looms on the horizon in the center. More from Billboard Everything We Know About 'Wicked: For Good' (So Far) How to Watch 'Poker Face' Season 2: Ways to Stream Natasha Lyonne's Hit Series Online Beyoncé Nods to 'Cowboy Carter' Track With New Levi's Tee Collab With a 'Levii's' Rebrand 'You will be changed,' reads text on the poster, a play on the lyrics to Elphaba and Glinda's 'For Good' duet from the Wicked Broadway musical, on which the films were based. The poster offers fans their first visual of the sequel to Jon M. Chu's first Wicked film, which hit theaters in November 2024 and has so far grossed $755.4 million worldwide — more than any other film adaptation of a Broadway musical — as of Monday (May 12). It also shows Erivo and Grande's characters in brand new outfits, with the former embracing her persona as the Wicked Witch of the West in her signature pointy hat and an edgy black coat that billows out behind her, while the latter wears a tiara and multicolored ballgown. But while the artwork is all viewers get for now of Wicked: For Good, they'll soon get their first proper view of the November-slated installment. Shortly after unveiling the poster, the Wicked Instagram account announced that the sequel's trailer will premiere in theaters on June 4 as the first film returns to the big screen for one night only in the United States and Canada. 'We know you've been waiting for this, and it's finally coming,' Erivo says in a video sharing the news, standing next to the 'Positions' singer. 'You will be changed …,' adds Grande before the Pinocchio star finishes, 'For good.' Tickets for Wicked's single-night return to theaters are on sale now. The announcement comes just two days after NBC revealed that a Wicked event special featuring Grande, Erivo and some 'special guests' would both air on the network and stream on Peacock in November. Modeling the arc of Act II in the Wicked stage musical, For Good is expected to pick up during the aftermath of the events of the first film. Elphaba is forced into hiding after the Wizard of Oz (portrayed by Jeff Goldblum) convinces the realm that she's, well, wicked. Meanwhile Glinda assumes her role as people's princess and government mouthpiece in the absence of her best frenemy. 'It gets messy,' Chu told Variety of the sequel's plot in January. 'I think if [audience members] are following the emotions of this movie, they'll walk with us.' See the new Wicked: For Good poster and trailer announcement below.
